I Love this game

Yes the computer cheets.. but it’s reminiscent of playing against my actual siblings - minus the board flipping. Love that I can log in and play a quick game and then come back to it later. I don’t have time to play IRL most of the time, so this allows me to play, without the wait. :) Thank you

Scam - not the real app - don’t buy

This one is no longer in development but they will sell you it for $5. Catan Universe is the real one

Trading

The trade system takes a long time and is annoying but also don’t know how they could make it better given the system

Ugg

The game glitches all the time !

Not Random

The dice rolls favor the computer too much.

502 Bad Gateway

Since this morning I am seeing 502 bad gateway and looking no body is looking into it

Can’t even make an account to play online.

No matter the email or username I cannot register in order to play online, and I refuse to settle for rigged AI games with loaded dice. Don’t bother, there’s a free version that works fine.

SCAM

DO NOT PAY IT WILL NOT WORK

Horrible

Never mind having to log in again every single time you go to a different page, you spend more time logging in than actually playing the game. On top of that, 80% of the time, online server connection fails or locks up.

Great game but the app is absolutely horrible.

DONT waste your money!

Mediocre

I mostly play against the computer. The controls work fine, but the algorithm that the computer uses is horrible.

Glitchy

I find this game very glitchy. Every time I move the robber, the checkmark to confirm the robber placement doesn’t come up, and I have to restart the app in order to continue. But when I restart, it’s at the beginning of my turn again, so I don’t actually get to move the robber.
Now it’s glitching after I place my second settlement, again there’s no checkmark to confirm.
This is frustrating, considering I paid for the app.

It’s okay but

There are so many expansions that are locked, with no information on how to access them. I even paid for no ads several years ago and it didn’t unlock them. So I’m stuck playing the same few boards over and over. It gets boring

Great brain fun

I can play Catan during flights and it makes the time go so quickly. I love it!

AI ruined it

Used to be balanced and fun playing with Bots, until AI was clearly incorporated and ruined the gameplay. Strategic building no longer matters, as the high probability numbers will never roll (unless you share the tile with multiple opponents). I counted a game where 3s and 2s rolled more frequently than 8s and 6s. Giving up a number to build on a port will also not matter, as that number will never roll. Even if a bot has the highest number of points and you’re stuck at 3, other bots will use all their knights on you. Went from fun to infuriating.

Top Game

One of my favorite strategy games highly recommend :]

Love this game!

Wonderful! So many board options. Pass and play or play against the computer. Love that I can play cities and knights as well! Great app!

Perfect for me

I love this game, can’t find anyone to play the physical board game with, this is perfect for me.

Cutting corners… literally

The corners are cut off so I can’t see the resource number on the top two players.

Buggy Fun

A very good effort . But I don’t think it’s really a professional product in the sense of finish. I have had bugs come out where it would not allow you to build in a legal place, where it would not allow you to move a ship, where you lost all product after a trade instead of gaining, and it can become very confused by circular roads. It also crashes - a lot a lot a lot - But it’s quick to restart.
I think it needs more playtest and an update, but neither of those are likely to occur.

Game is not working

The game isn't working; it's freezing.
